I don't see how you could use quilt and maintain compatability with
git-dpm. git-dpm expects all patches to be in git, and will update
debian/patches automatically from git. quilt writes patches directly in
debian/patches/* and doesn't support git.
Not something that concerns me personally, quilt was starting to become
very painful for me. I regularly ended up forgetting the "quilt add"
operation before editing files, resulting in invalid patches.
